Maybe I should have been more specific. Loot lockout is fine, I'm ok with that. However, if my buddy wants to clear with his static, and run the next day with friends in the FC or from other places, he/she should be able to.Loot lockout is to prevent some players eat all content and cap gear on one day, dropping game longevity and causing more drama in forum, because the day after, that players will roam the forums making sure all the world knows how they are bored of a game that let them cap all in one day, eventually braggin' about that.

SCOB isn't loot locked, it's content locked. Syrcus Tower is loot locked in that it can be run as many times as you wish but you can only get one piece of gear from it per week. You can still get things like mounts/minions/tomes. In SCOB, you can only physically do each instance once per week. Once you've cleared a turn you cannot even re-enter it. Once you've so much as entered a higher turn, you can't enter any of the turns that come before it, even if you wipe in the turn you entered and even if you never touched the earlier turns.Loot lockout is to prevent some players eat all content and cap gear on one day, dropping game longevity and causing more drama in forum, because the day after, that players will roam the forums making sure all the world knows how they are bored of a game that let them cap all in one day, eventually braggin' about that.


Started with "Loot" but were referring to both, that word slipped the keyboard!
Just clear the "Loot" word and all continue to make sense.
"all content and cap gear" -> "all content" is the instance lock, "cap gear" is the gear lock, and if you wish, also the tomes lock.

U may be right. I must have been on at busy times before but last night felt pretty light. It wasn't dead or anything, but not near as much as before.
Still I see no cause for concern as big games are coming out this time of year and new patch is coming. People will return for 2.4 and even more will come back for the expansion. This is typical behavior for all MMOs. Even WoW went through these periods, so I really don't see any need for concern just yet.
Based on the title, I was fully expecting to see gifs of players being 'loosed' from a ballista. Sadly, I was disappointed.
